BOSNIAN PRESIDENCY APPARENTLY REACHES AGREEMENT ON COUNCIL CO- CHAI

CHAI $ RMEN SARAJEVO, Dec 12 (Hina) - Members of Bosnia-Herzegovina's collective presidency on Thursday apparently reached agreement on two officials who would head the Council of Ministers. A Moslem co-chairman of the Council will most likely be former prime minister Haris Silajdzic while a Serb co-chairman will be Boro Bosic, deputy international peace coordinator Michael Steiner said in Sarajevo as the presidency session was still in progress. The two men have the greatest chance of being appointed co- chairmen of the Council, although the matter is still being discussed, he told a news conference at the National Museum. Bosic is the director of the Ugljevik thermal power plant in northern Bosnia, and in 1994 he held the post of energy minister in the government of the Bosnian Serb Republic. The three-man presidency was expected to pass regulations on the treatment of war crimes suspects. According to the regulations, drafted by the office of international peace coordinator Carl Bildt, local police forces should not arrest persons who have not been indicted by the international war crimes tribunal in The Hague, and at least 50 persons, arrested since the signing of the Dayton peace agreement while crossing the inter-entity boundary, should be immediately released.
